WARRIORS international Brendon Galloway faces a lengthy period on the sidelines after sustaining a horrific injury that could see him missing the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Cameroon in January 2022.

The 25-year-old defender was stretchered off the pitch in Plymouth Argyle’s 0-3 loss to Wycombe Wanderers.

Indications are that the right-back dislocated his right knee cap.

“I’m told if you dislocate your knee cap it just goes back in and there’s a bit of swelling around it, so we’ll have to wait and see what the scans say,” Argyle manager Ryan Lowe said.

“But I’m just pleased that it’s not an MCL or ACL or cruciate (ligaments) or anything like that. It’s the opposite knee anyway When I went in, I saw one scar down the front of one knee, which was the right knee, and I looked at the left one and there’re no scars on that so that’s pleasing for him. Hopefully he’s alright, we’ll get the scans and the X-rays in and we’ll take it from there.” – @innocentskizoe
